Looking Up
Aug. 9th, 2017 06:23 amThings are looking a little better than a few days ago. I've taken charge of my life and started writing down things again. And I've also been proactively looking for opportunities to volunteer or otherwise get out of the house other than my regular Tuesdays at the library.
So yesterday was a GREAT day. That's not sarcasm, folks. I actually had a very decent day. Here is what went down.
I went to coloring club at the library with Jeanette (yes, that Jeanette) and Howard. While I was there, I talked to Ms. Roberta (she likes to be called Bert) about vacation, and everything I've been doing since then. Understand that I haven't been at the library for at least a month. And I know that only a few people there actually have me on Facebook. So everyone was like, "OMG, you're back, are you okay? What's been going on?!" I gotta say... that's all I really needed, guys. I have friends. I really do. I have to MAKE myself get up. I have to MAKE myself FIGHT with everything against the anxiety and depression, and that starts closer to home next week. Next week, I am going to try and go to Bunco if it's still going on up there at the clubhouse. I'll ask Carmen on Tuesday.
But back to yesterday. After talking to Bert, it came to my mind to try and volunteer at the library. Hell, I'm there a lot to begin with. I might as well give back to a place that has become a second home to me. So I talked to her about a position for me in volunteering at the library, and we decided that I could do some things with the kids' programs. :) So when I got home yesterday, I filled out an application for volunteering. So we shall see what happens with that. I am very excited about the possibilities.
Then we went to Bingo. Our neighbor Maggie, and a family friend, Toni, went with us. Mom, Toni, and I all got really close to winning several times, but to no avail. But it was still a fun night. .
I got home and finished another chapter of Splintered. And when i read again today, I'll be reading more about Morpheus. If you have me on Facebook, you'll see that I've talked about him extensively in my updates about Splintered, and on one of my posts, I think I posted his book cover depiction. This guy is just....I can't really explain it, honestly.
This morning, I ordered Untamed in hardcover. I'm going to be ordering the other three Splintered books over the next few months in hard cover. I just want to keep the covers looking pretty. It's the most gorgeous cover art I've seen since the original The Mortal Instruments covers. (PS: Not a big fan of the TV series tie-in novels' covers). My original 3 will be donated to the library. :) So that I can share the love.
